We only stayed one night on our way south. The good: Convenient overnight stop if you are going the coastal route through South Carolina. Staff were very friendly. The bad: This campground is right on busy route 17 - no way you could take a left even in a towed car. It is also noisy because of its proximity to the highway. Our site was not quite level because of a drop off at the end. We also noticed a paper mill smell when we arrived, though that dissipated later in the day. Our bottom line: Good for a one-night stop but that's about it. We
camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Motorhome.

Huge CG that is flat. Pull throughs are more in the open while back ins have huge trees. Ground crew does a great job. Only 4 washers and 2 dryers for this huge park. If park is full, sites would be fairly close but OK. Would stay here again. We

Tips for other Campers:

Close to Charleston. Good seafood reasonably priced at Gilligan's. Charleston Tea Plantation is a must see. It is the only commercial farm and production facility in North America. Learned a lot and enjoyed the tea! Magnolia Plantation is close but at $52/person for full tour, we deemed it a must miss. Don't miss Fire Fly Distillery and Deep Water Vineyards. They sit side by side and have knowledgeable and gracious folks.

Traveling full-time in a 38-foot coach we stayed 7-nights in a site for big rigs (site #NN1 - Pd $57.71 night) This was our first visit here. We've stayed in over 400 RV Parks and as far as WIFI goes, this RV park places in the Top Ten! We give this park 5-Stars for the fantastic WIFI! Our AT&T phones worked great here too. This park is a small well-maintained family owned park. The owners are very friendly and fantastic hosts. Big coaches need a gravel pad, so we also give this RV Park a 5-star rating for the thick gravel pad. Some RV Parks also have very narrow roads which make backing up very difficult, we found this park to have plenty of room to maneuver our coach. Some RV Parks are so dusty that one has to clean their coach after a stay, but not here, the dust on our coach was very minimal compared to many other parks. Our satellite did receive reception. Plenty of room to walk your dog here. This is a nice place to stay and we recommend it! We
camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Motorhome.

This park is very clean and well maintained. The price reflects the monthly rate of $925. We stayed here for one month over the holiday month of December. There is a nice dog run and a small kids play area with a swing set and large chess board. There is also a pool that is not heated so we did not test it out. The utilities were great. We did not loose power during storms and the water pressure was great. The laundry room was not great. 4 washing machines and only 2 dryers with no area to fold your cloths or even transfer them. There is a sign in the laundry room that if the machine turns off you can remove the cloths. If you do not pay to stay nightly which is pricey they put you in a dirt spot instead of a paved area. Since the park was empty while we were there and we asked for a paved spot I found this to be a turn off, especially considering it rained quite a bit while we were there and we had a mud pit when we walked outside of our rv. Another negative which is not the parks fault, the road behind the park is VERY noisy with cars and trucks honking, revving their engines at night to race and motorcycles. We had to keep our AC fan on high to try to drown out the noise. There are trains but they are in the distance and did not bother us at night. Last negative is the entrance/exit. If you want to take a left turn out of the park you will wait awhile for a break in traffic. Thankfully when we were leaving with our rv we took a right. However when we drove our car for the month there were multiple times we went further up the road and u-turned to be safe. This park with traffic is about 30 minutes from historic downtown Charleston. We

Tips for other Campers:

Visit Gilligans Seafood Restaurant, the Glass onion and Swig or Swine on Highway 17 are definitely worth the visit. One broadstreet restaurant has an amazing brunch!! There is a beautiful very old tree called Angel Oak near the rv park. It is worth the time to visit. Lastly, USS yorktown is a must. We ended up spending 4 hours there touring the aircraft carrier and did not see everything.

Overall this is a super nice park. The sites are nice and wide (we loved our end pull through!) and the interior roadways easy to navigate. They have a nice pool and the fenced dog park is an entire acre. They offer a playground and a disc golf course. The park is super shady with several live oaks and Spanish moss - just what you would expect in the Charleston area and wonderful for strolls. The general location is perfect for visiting all the tourist attractions in the area. The down side of the park is the specific location on Highway 17/Savannah Highway. The road is incredibly busy making it difficult to turn left or right - whether in your rig or in your tow! Be aware of that when reserving a site here. We would choose to stay again, as for us, the amenities outweigh the busy intersection. We

The park setting is gorgeous, with old oak trees dripping with moss. The office staff were fantastic. The park looks very spacious and it was easy to get in and out of. Our site was a pull through and was very spacious. Even with our Good Sam discount, the park was very expensive for what they have to offer. Although they have free wifi, we were never able to get anything to download. We got a terrible infestation of ants while we were there and spent days trying to get rid of them. The park is very close to Charleston, and it was easy to do lots of sightseeing from there. We
camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Motorhome.

I gave this park an 8, but could be a 7.8 It has 221 spots, and some are on grass and some are on gravel. The roads between are asphalt, and there is some grass between sites. The sites are pretty close together, but not too close. The area we were in had very few trees. We were in site 6 in row OO. This park was built in 1963 so the roads are a little tight,because RV's have gotten way bigger since then. The wifi was in and out. We

Tips for other Campers:

Visit Charleston and do a culinary walking tour, and do a history tour, and there are hundreds of Restaurants, so ask the locals what they like. We went to Amen Street Fish and Raw Bar if you like seafood and oysters.

A very nice park about 20 minutes from downtown Charleston. The largest dog run we’ve encountered. Site was level and with ample length. Close to other RV but luckly we only had one neighbor during our stay. Staff was friendly with the exception of Melissa. We wouldn’t rule this place out if ever in the Charleston area again but would look elsewhere first. We
camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

A great CG. Bath houses were very clean and in great condition. Staff was very friendly and very helpful. We stayed here for three nights on labor day weekend. We
camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Travel Trailer.

We are full-timers and enjoyed our four night stay here. We were in site H1 which is an end site, has plenty of grass and is spacious. It is also closer to the front of the park so we didn't have to go over as many speed bumps as those in the back. But, we didn't think the speed bumps were any worse or bigger than other places we have stayed and they were probably put there because people were going too fast. Our site was open but there were trees that provided some relief from the afternoon sun to our west. Most sites here face north which is great. We were also close to the dog park which is one of the best we've seen in an RV park. It's large, the grass is green and there is some shade. Overall this is a great place to bring dogs. There are trash cans at the end of each row and within an easy walk from any site. Recycle cans close to the front. Wifi worked well during our stay as well as the cable. Some sites more satellite friendly than others. Strong Verizon signal. It's really no big deal to make a right and go to Charleston that way and they tell you how to do it when you check-in. All hook-ups worked fine. We did not use any of the facilities other than the dog park so cannot comment on them. We would stay here again. We

Tips for other Campers:

It's a short drive to the Angel Oak Tree and it's free and beautiful. If you like barbecue you gotta go to Swig and Swine just down Hwy 17. Some of the best we've had anywhere in the country! Tomato Shed Cafe also excellent. So many great restaurants around here it's hard to choose.

We stayed in this beautiful park for two nights. Very helpful staff. Found us a sat friendly site even though they have excellent cable tv. WiFi is also excellent. The facilities are squeaky clean and of ample number but they are not ADA compliant. There is not a toilet with a bar or of the ADA height. Publix grocery is close as are several fast food restaurants. The problem is that the highway has no pedestrian crossing and is dangerous to cross. We
camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Motorhome.

This is our second time to stay here. Overall the campground is nice and, except for the brutal sun (no trees around our site), we enjoyed our stay. The utilities were well-placed and all worked well. Our site was level and wide enough for our coach but not overly wide though we didn't feel too close to our neighbors. The interior roads were easy to navigate our 45' DP. The campground has numerous trash bins throughout the park and they have recycling bins near the entrance. Others have complained about the speed bumps. They are clearly a nuisance but we managed. Others have also complained about not being able to turn left safely onto Hwy 17. This is a real problem but I don't think the campground owners can do anything about it. Just always turn right! The staff was generally nice except for the young man who checked us in. He was downright rude and I told him so. I only saw him once during the week we were there so he probably only works weekends. He was really the only negative during our stay. We might stay here again but there are other campgrounds we prefer. We
camped at Oak Plantation Campground in a Motorhome.

Stayed here 5 nights through the 4th of July week to do some genealogical studies. Other than the speed bumps, the campground is nice. Site was gravel and level and in the open. No relief from the sun and heat of the season. The provided WiFi worked in fits and starts. Verizon voice and data excellent. All utilities worked as they should (water, sewer, electric). Plenty of over the air TV stations to supplement the provided cable. Trying to turn left out of the park onto US 17 (Savannah Hwy) is treacherous. The local people use this work around: Exit park to the right to the traffic light. Right onto Main Road. Follow to the next traffic light and turn right again. This is Bees Ferry Road. You can continue straight to Ashley Ferry Road or turn right onto Glenn McConnell Parkway to access West Ashley. I-26 and the campground are separated by the Ashley River. There are only two crossings available: I-526 and Bacons Bridge Road (SR 165) We

Tips for other Campers:

Traffic on I-26 approaching the I-526 merge can get backed up for miles. The day we were approaching Charleston, the road was closed due to a tragic car accident/fire. May I suggest that you exit to the right at SC Exit 199 (Pilot and Cracker Barrel at this exit). Follow Alt 17 to SR 165. Turn left onto SR 165 and follow this road to SR 61, Ashley River Road. Then follow Ashley River to I-526 and then to US 17 (Savannah Hwy) which sets you up for a right turn into the campground.

This was our second stay at this park. This time we were in a different section, ants were not a problem. They do require a $40 non-refundable deposit. I found the nightly rate (with Good Sam discount) reasonable for the park's proximity to downtown, about 20 minutes. The pool is small and right next to busy 17, not sure how relaxing and enjoyable that might be for those who want to use it. Yes, there are many speedbumps in the park, nothing to complain about. And yes, 17 in front of the park gets VERY busy...difficult to take a left at certain times of the day, also difficult to impossible to turn right and get in the left turn lane to head to Kiawah Island. Had to turn into gas station and come out the other direction. Not any fault of the campground owners...just the location and the traffic. Nothing that would prevent me from staying here again. We

Tips for other Campers:

Publix grocery store very close by. Don't waste your time with Gilligan's (seafood restaurant nearby)...a disappointing meal after a long wait.

We stayed here in July. Hot. Ask for shade if you plan on coming in the summer. Nothing major wrong with this park...but....kinda hard to explain. Not that the workers were totally rude but not the friendliest either. Wifi was TERRIBLE. We were placed in a full sun spot in the back. Asked to change but they didn't have anything and if we did change they would not refund if it was a cheaper price. Our fault for not requesting it. Getting out of the park, turning left...very dangerous. Still about 25-40 minutes from downtown Charleston. There is a "fishing" pond behind the store that has alligators in it. Never saw any alligators but got "yelled" at by a store worker for walking back there since the house next door is private. We didn't walk on the private property but they weren't too nice about it. Things like this. I also didn't like that I had to pay a non-refundable deposit just to reserve it. Why? Honestly don't know if I would stay here again. $63 a night is very expensive for this place. Too many speed bumps. Too many speed bumps. Too many speed bumps. We

Tips for other Campers:

Make sure you visit the USS Yorktown and all that is there. We spent over 4 hours there. So much to see and so worth it. We walked around historical Charleston but it was very hot as it was July. We visited the three National Parks in the area.

Then follow Ashley River to I-526 and then to US 17 (Savannah Hwy) which sets you up for a right turn into the campground.

It's about impossible to make a left turn out of the campground. When going to Charleston, turn right out the campground, take the next right (Main St), turn left at next light. Continue to next light, turn left. The next light, turn left and you're back on 17. We did that with the rig as well. Much easier.

Make sure you visit the USS Yorktown and all that is there. We spent over 4 hours there. So much to see and so worth it. We walked around historical Charleston but it was very hot as it was July. We visited the three National Parks in the area.

Magnolia and Drayton Hall are nice plantations to visit. Patriots Point with the USS Yorktown and boat ride to Ft. Sumpter is a really nice area. Took a Gray Line tour of the historic district because it was pouring rain, well worth the 20$. Plenty of good restaurants in the Market District.

Somters fort is very interesting, place where the civil war began. Get tickets in advance online. Tea Plantation and Market in historic Charleston nice, get to market early lots of people and short on parking. Local history museum interesting too.

Parking in Charleston is a bit of a challenge so we used the enclosed visitor parking the the visitors center and walked to were we wanted to go. Great city to walk around and you see much more than if driving looking for spots to park. If you drive a short distance from the rv park to the right towards Savannah, there is a small but interesting wildlife refuge with well maintained hiking trials.

The shopping center just past the campground has pretty much everything you need.. Publix, frozen yogurt, pizza, hibachi, a pub style restaurant, nail salon, UPS store, bank and a vet (who was wonderful with our two dogs, definitely recommend them). Don't waste time trying to turn left out of the campground if there is any traffic. Just turn right and then right on to Bees Ferry, right on Jerry McConnell to get you back to the interstate. Much safer, less frustration.

Lots to do in Charleston and area! Historical downtown roads (and parking) weren't designed for big trucks. A bit scary for driving anything large. Next time we'll park close to downtown and Uber around town for sightseeing.

To exit the park and return to I-526, turn right out of the park, take a right at the light (near the Publix shopping center), take a right on Bees Ferry Rd, a right on Glenn McConnell Pkwy then a left onto I-526. Attempting to turn left on to Savannah Hwy in a RV at any time of day is a fools errand at best and will only result in stress and road rage.

We gave 'Swig and Swine' a try for dinner...absolutely delicious. It's on Hwy 17 a few miles from the park towards the city. Be prepared for HEAVY traffic on route 17! It only slows up a bit after 6pm. Don't know where all these people are going to...or coming from. It's difficult getting out of the park...especially going east. They love to tailgate sown here!

Plenty to see and do in and around Charleston. Be sure to visit Ft. Sumpter, Rainbow Row, Magnolia Plantation and any of several well-done history museums about the area. The downtown Market Street Scenic Route (directions on the sheet included at check-in) is also a must see and do.

Lots of shopping about 5 miles away, Costco, Target and many others. There's a free trolley in the historic downtown area, very easy to ride. We did the Charleston Harbor Cruise, very nice 90 min cruise.

Charleston is a charming town! We walked downtown and many interesting, landmark, historical buildings. We parked downtown & took the free trolley. Visited beautiful & ate delicious lunch at Middleton Plantation, very close to the campground. Also went to Festival of Lights which just opened Nov 11 - beautiful!!

Charleston is an amazing city - we did a walking tour with Charleston Sole company, and were very pleased. Ate dinner at Husk, and Magnolia, and both were wonderful! Plan on gaining weight in Charleston! The history of the buildings is just amazing.

Located about 8 miles from downtown Charleston so convenient but 17 is a very busy road, stoplights, etc., but still convenient to town.
Restaurants, gas stations nearby. Recommend Gilligan's ( a few blocks away) and Swig and Swing; avoid Southern Roots.

The food in Charleston is AMAZING! Favorite restaurant was "Leon's Fine Poultry and Oysters". We stumbled upon it by the Citadel but were so happy with it. Out of the way but worth it. Also "Hominy Grill" was delicious, great atmosphere.

It's almost impossible to turn left to get into Charleston during morning rush hour. You need to turn right and turn into the gas station to get out on a side street. Traffic going into town is very busy and slow even during the middle of the day. Plan enough time, especially if taking the ferry to Ft. Sumpter. We enjoyed a visit to the Charleston Tea Plantation. Had lunch at the Oyster House on Market and shared 4 oyster/shrimp appetizers. Wonderful and great service!

Loved the Charleston Tea Plantation. Take the free tour and tasting. Downtown Charleston and the Waterfront Park area are terrific. We parked at the visitor center on meeting street and walked but there are free trolleys that you can ride all overe. Kiawah Island Beach was delightful.

Close to Charleston on US-17 west of downtown. Very very heavy traffic! Late afternoon, it was a royal pain slogging down 17 from I-526 to the campground! Nearly impossible to exit across near lanes to turn into left-bound 17! My advice: ask office for other directions if that's where you want to go when you leave. If you do decide to wait for a gap in traffic, make sure your tanks are full of gas before you do! You'll need it!

We experienced our first Segway tour of Mount Pleasant and had a ball. There are lots of great places to eat and the ferry ride and tour of Fort Sumter was fantastic. We were the first to arrive at the Fort on the day we visited and I was given the honor along with about 25 others to raise the flag over the Fort for the day. The Park Ranger gave a great talk and set the tone for us to pledge allegiance - a moving experience.

Tour buses, horse-drawn carriages and pedicabs abound but a self-directed walking tour can be the best way to experience the dense old town. Don't miss the government ferry to Fort Sumter National Monument. Touring Fort Moultrie is less exciting for anyone who is not into the history of coastal fortifications. Good food at Gaulart & Maliclet, a relatively cheap fast french foot restaurant downtown with bar stool seating, and Swig & Swine, smoked barbecue 7 miles east of the campgrounds.

Very close to Charleston but would not recommend driving in downtown. There is a free shuttle and it is definitely the way to see the town. Patriot Point is very interesting with an aircraft carrier, destroyer and submarine that can be toured (fairly expensive but worth it). Also, the boat trip to Fort Sumter leaves from here.

We visited the Middleton Place Plantation and had lunch, shopped on King Street and stopped by the Blind Tiger Pub and ended up at the Holy City Brewing Company which was a definite winner. They had live music, wasn't sure about the neighborhood until we drove back to where the brewery was, then it was o.k.

We went to the normal tourist locations. There is a covered lot by the visitors center that has spaces for big pickups and small RV's. It is just off St.Marys street.
When downtown have a burger at AC's Bar, it is by the visitors center. We had the Grand-Marneir burger. Excellent!

Go to Annabelle's for lunch. You will have to google it for the address. it is a place that is not advertised, only open for lunch, has a huge local crowd, superior chef and outstanding food. Get there early!

If using a GPS to locate this campground ensure you enter the city at John's Island. This way you will be making an easy right turn into the park. Whereas if you enter the city at Charleston you will have to make a left turn across the Savannah Highway.
